Devices
If you don't know what devices are on your system, please follow our Installation Wizard.
This is the summary page listing of over 200 devices supported by the lm_sensors package and the linux kernel. Unless noted, these drivers are supported by us and included in our lm_sensors package for Linux 2.4, and directly in the kernel tree for Linux 2.6. Other drivers not supported by us but compatible with our package are listed as well for your information.
Drivers are listed in two groups: bus and sensor chip. Bus drivers are the I2C/SMBus bus masters. Unless your sensor chip is on the PCI or ISA (I/O) bus, a bus driver is required to access any device on the bus. PCI and ISA sensors shouldn't need a bus driver, but the older ones still use the 'dummy' bus driver i2c-isa. Chip drivers are used to access the sensor chips themselves and export the readings.
To find out what driver you need and what chips you have use the sensors-detect utility in our package. If your version of sensors-detect failed to detect a chip, you should try the latest version of sensors-detect. You may also try our Installation Wizard.
If you would like us to support a chip not listed below, or listed as 'not planed', please contact us. Please indicate if you can help in development, testing, or donations. We don't have much spare time, so the more help you can provide, the better your chances to get a chip supported fast.
For the latest information on new Linux 2.4 drivers in our distribution, see the top of our LM Sensors CHANGES document. For Linux 2.6, the drivers are added to the kernel source tree directly.
For instructions on how to check our latest code out of subversion, see the bottom of our download page. For Linux 2.4, remember to get both lm-sensors and i2c, and to compile and install i2c before compiling lm-sensors. For Linux 2.6, lm-sensors is enough (you don't even need the kernel part of it.)

| SiS | 5511, 5512, 5513 | misdetected as 5595 | These chipsets don't even have an I2C bus interface, so they shouldn't really be in this table, but sensors-detect thinks they are 5595. | |||
| SiS | 5581, 5582, 5597, 5598 | misdetected as 5595 | Sensors-detect will recommend i2c-sis5595 but it won't work. It will also recommend sis5595 for sensors but that is wrong too, these chips do not have integrated sensors. Poor data sheets prevent us from implementing I2C/DDC support for these chips. | |||
| SiS | 540, 550, 633, 635, 635T, 733 | misdetected as 5595 | Sensors-detect may recommend i2c-sis5595 but it won't work. It may also recommend sis5595 for sensors but that is wrong too, these chips do not have integrated sensors. Support for these can probably be added to i2c-sis630 or i2c-sis645. If you would like to help develop and test support for any of these please contact us. | |||

| IPMB | yes | i2c-ipmb | 2.7.0 | - | In development. Doesn't work yet. | |
| SMBus BIOS interface | no | There is a kernel patch on Freshmeat but it doesn't register as an I2C device that is compatible with our package. It would be nice to rework this driver to be compatible, but would not like to use BIOS code in the kernel. |
